Now, for my opinion on the article "Rising Poverty Level and Obama's Middle Class Fantasy". I gave this article an over all rating of 4 stars. It is a very good article and we need more of these on BrooWaha. We can never have enough. It was so good infact that it inspired me to write a comment. That comment grew until I realized it was a complete article in rebuttal to Dan Ehrlich's stance on the issue. No matter how well written, I respectfully disagree.

3rd generation Americans (that includes me) are lazy and spoiled. We never had to earn anything. My great grandfather... (more)

The dream of home ownership is losing out to the dream of owning a small business. The business of buying, fixing up, and selling homes called flipping. Right now these businesses and their cash are flipping the bird to some young American families trying to claw their way back in to the Middle Class.

Dilemma!

So what then is a solution to this dilemma? Is it a supply issue? Is it a demand issue? Is it a credit issue? Is it that the American Dream is just that, a dream, a fantasy of days gone by? I think the answer is yes. Yes to all that and more. This... (more)

It was almost three years ago to the day that I realized my then current employer was changing course. I analysed this course and determined that my role in the organization would be drastically reduced or eliminated in three to five years.

I wasn't happy with my career. I had oppressive management that thrived on choking the life out of creativity and ambition. One year ago the director of that organization in an all staff meeting came out and said, "Stop asking for promotions or lateral movement. We are all lucky to have a job."

It was a cold windy ominous day, the typical day for omens. When the small sparsely inhabited island in the South Pacific, that Jack had finally found, is thrown in only dark tidings could result.

The trek across the South Pacific, treacherous as it was, had turned out to be extremely profitable. They had dodged the many close calls with the South Sea Trading Company, the Chinese Port Authority, and seemingly every other port authority in this hemisphere. Jack had lost some good men, hardened pirates each and every one. That was not considered entirely bad, since now their bunks were... (more)

The article "LeBron is gone, Ohio should move on" completely captures the "outsider" view of the "LeBrondyssey" of this summer's NBA free agncy. The author titles the article,"LeBron is gone, Ohio should move on" , but ends with, "I learned a hard lesson years ago in the employment world — and let's not forget that basketball is about business and that James is employed by it — business is business. It's not personal." That is where she has mixed up two distinctly different issues, like oil and vinigar. She did a good job mixing in the middle but in the end, just like oil and vinigar mix,...

During more than a decade of IT experience I have seen many file synchronization services. They all needed moderate to advanced computing skill levels. Dropbox is different. Dropbox just works. The best part is that it works across Apple Mac OS X, all Microsoft Windows versions, and all Linux distributions. You can also access all your files from dropbox.com from any http compliant web browser. This includes the popular browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, as well as Opera, Flock, Mozilla Seamonkey, and others.
